Atlas for the Great War by Thomas E. Griess
These were two atlases that had a great deal of World War One maps. They had quite a few of where certain armies were at given dates as well as where the front-lines changed through the years. I used some information from these books to discover where certain front lines were as well as the battles that were fought.
Very brief description of some forms of communications and which is more effective than others. Interesting to see the change over time with the different forms of communications.
Canada and Communication
This site contained useful information on the specific communication problems and solution with communication issues. I will see if I use this site and change this reference if need be.
Pigeons
This site contained useful information on the specific communication problems and solution with communication issues. I will see if I use this site and change this reference if need be.
Pigeons
This is a personal account of a pigeon that saved a great deal of soldiers. They employed over 100,000 pigeons with over 95% success rate. The website also contained some old advertisements that gave a reward to anyone seen shooting a pigeon should be reported. I used this a great deal for another Google Tour presentation.
This is a site that contained a great deal of information on this dog that saved many lives during his service. Great dog with a few awesome stories that will never cease to amaze. This site was amazing and i used this a great deal on my Google Tour about Sargent Stubby. The link is in a my blog page.
This has some more information on war dogs and some information on what these dogs were used for. It also states that almost every country in the war used some form of dogs for a variety of purposes
This site contained old newspaper articles that had information from World War One to animals used in the war.
Baynes, Ernest Harold, and Owen Wister. Animal Heroes of the Great War,. [New York]: Macmillan, 1925. Print.
This was a book that was written to describe and honor animals that served during World War One. They do not mention Sargent Stubby. This book focuses on the animals used by European countries not America.
Newspaper Article of Sargent Stubby
Just a small article on Sargent Stubby with a great photo. Stubby is sitting with General John J. Pershing being honored for his seventeen engagements.
Add for Stubby
This was a great primary source for Stubby and advocates how much of a celebrity he turned into. I used the image from this source and found some other sites from this page.
The Bark Post
This site contained a great deal of information about stubby and a ton of great primary source images right from the Great War. I used quite a few images from this site and I enjoyed the old time photography.
American Smithsonian
Great site for information about any subject. There were abundant information on Sargent Stubby as well as various carrier pigeons that were present in the Great War. I used this as a good overview of a given subject.
Wikipedia on Sargent Stubby
Although it is Wikipedia it always has a great number of references and other external links that contain valuable information. Including the American Smithsonian. The summary that Wikipedia offers is also important to get some minor information on a subject.
American Expedition Force
This site contained a great, in-depth history of the Battle of Seicheprey. This battle took place on April 20, 1918. I used information for a background o the battle. The site went into considerable detail on the battle and gave insight to Sergeant Stubby's presence at the battle.
Cher Ami
This was a very useful site that contained a great deal of information on the pigeons in World War One. Cher Ami was the focus of the site. I used a good amount of the data on the tour of Cher Ami.
Letter from lost battalion
This site was used for the retrieval of an image of a picture of the note that was attached to Cher Ami's leg. The site also contained information on the award the pigeon earned. The "croix de guerre" for his heroic services.
Poem of Cher Ami
This website had quite a bit of informtion on carrier pigeons that served in World War One. They listed the most successful pigeons and had a poem about Cher Ami. The poem is listed and is rather beautiful.
Pictures of Pigeons
This site was filled with great pictures and data about carrier pigeons and what there impact was on the war effort. Some primary sources were a great find. Used a good amount of pictures from this site.
Pigeon Lofts
This site allowed me to recognize and explore new methods of how pigeons were used in warfare. The pigeons had some tiny cameras that were secured to the pigeon's chest.

This site had some information on it. I used the quotation that was said to be written on a note that was tied to Cher Ami's leg.
National Army
This website was used for the pigeon named President Wilson.
